If I understand you correctly Sean, I think that feature has been in MsgEd
for years, with no need for a switch. Maybe I have been just lucky, but
that's the way Msged works here now - it genereates a tosslog entry for
each area that I write a message in, although I don't think it actually
does so until I exit Msged.

The latest release offers limited cursor control, you can control the start
and stop scan lines. In Msged.cfg:

Curstart 0
Curend 14

That is on the top of my wishlist too! Years ago, someone in this echo
posted a macro to use a spell checker with Msged, but it was klunky, and I
gave up on it. This would be a cool addition.
